Florence Mills is the greatest superstar you never heard of. Her larger than life talents and persona set the path for those to follow. This daughter of former slaves was without a doubt the first international Black female superstar from America. Talented as well as an outspoken advocate for her people at home and abroad, Florence was a proud product of the Harlem Renaissance. She was able to dine and entertain royalty and heads of state and yet still keep touch and break bread with the common folk. Her charity and generosity was as equal as her gargantuan talents. W.E A.L.L. B.E. created this documentary and interviewed Bro. Bill Egan, the author of the definitive Florence Mills: Harlem Jazz Queen to get a better understanding about this forgotten legend and her place in history. Also included is an interview from Florences husband, the dance great U.S. Kid Thompson who colorfully tells how Florence got started in show business.

Everything Elvis did he stole. My grandmother says that she never liked him because he stole music from black people and got famous from it, while they got ripped off. That was the pattern of treatment for Black Artists in the day. If you watch the movie on Little Richard, they show that being done to his songs.. with soul-less results by his copy cats! lol

did elvis copy his famous hip swing moves at 0:11 from her? cause elvis love to swing those hips...he must have learned it or saw it from a woman..most likely her! i guess elvis wasnt so original like veryone thought...dont get me wrong, i like elvis stuff a lot...but maybe some people forgot to give credits to someone. wow she could dance! black people r gifted with music...its in their genes..
